George W. Scott Plantation

The George W. Scott Plantation was a 1036-acre (4 km2) cotton-growing forced-labor farm in central Leon County, Florida, United States established by George Washington Scott in 1852 and located 2 miles (3 km) south of Tallahassee.

Scott experimented in a variety of crops and planted 12 acres (49,000 m2) of sugar cane, cabbage, collards, rutabagas, Dutch turnips.

Scott also created a 16-foot (5 m) overshot waterwheel from a pond going to corn, sugar and cotton processing.

The bone were crushed with a heavy cast-iron stamp powered by a waterwheel and the meal mixed with sulfuric acid.

By 1887, the Gossypium Phospo made by the George W. Scott Company had become one of the most noted fertilizers in the south.
